Farmhouse Green Plum

After a chaotic commotion, by the time Ma Chuner took the medicine, the sun was setting.

She screamed louder again, but the midwife and Mrs. Li scolded her: "Don't scream, save your strength and give birth to the baby in one breath..."

As time passed, Ma Chuner's fetal position had corrected, but the baby was still not born.

Even more unfortunate, the servants of Mr. He's family came in a hurry: "Doctor Ma! Doctor Ma! My young lady has a fever again, please go and take a look!"

Aunt Liu was so panic-stricken that she had to ask Doctor Ma a few questions from time to time to maintain a little confidence. Upon hearing this, she immediately jumped up and grabbed Doctor Ma's hand.

"Doctor Ma, you can't leave. My grandson hasn't been born yet!"

The servant said anxiously, "My young lady has a fever and is talking nonsense. She is waiting for Doctor Ma to save her life. Doctor Ma is not a midwife. He has already prescribed medicine, so it is useless for him to stay here."

“No, no, Doctor Ma, you can’t leave!” Aunt Liu held onto Doctor Ma tightly and refused to let go.

The He family servant was so angry that he said, "Woman, are you being unreasonable..."

"How am I being unreasonable? Your daughter's life is a life, but my grandson's is not." After a pause, Aunt Liu added, "And my daughter-in-law. If we delay any longer, what will happen to one corpse and two lives?"

When the He family servant was about to speak, she pointed at Lin Wenxuan and said, "Let this young doctor go back with you."

Lin Wenxuan quickly waved his hands: "I can't do it, I haven't finished my apprenticeship yet."

If it was just an ordinary minor illness, he could treat it, but Miss He had a high fever for three days. His master tried various methods and only managed to reduce the fever a little at noon today.

Otherwise, when the son went to invite them, the He family would not let them leave.

The servant thought for a moment and said, "Doctor Ma was specially invited by our master to come to the countryside to treat our young lady. He needs to be paid for the trip, 5 taels of silver a day. Will your family pay for today's expenses?"

"Five taels!" Aunt Liu exclaimed, and let go of Doctor Ma's hand.

Song Ying was also surprised. A prescription in a clinic usually costs a dozen to a hundred coins, depending on the medicinal materials used. Five taels of silver is a full four thousand coins.

Doctor Ma doesn't make that much money in a day, and this is just the cost of going to the countryside, not the consultation fee.

They sell their herbs every two days. When the price is high, they can sell for hundreds of coins, and when the price is low, they can sell for sixty or seventy coins.

At this moment, an idea popped up in her mind uncontrollably: it would be great if she could become a doctor.

Faced with the huge cost of going to the countryside, Aunt Liu was unwilling but had no choice but to go back to the house to get money to pay for the medical treatment and medicine.

Doctor Ma pinched his beard and sighed, then said to Lin Wenxuan: "Wenxuan, you stay. If the situation is not right, I will prescribe more medicine. According to my previous method, the dosage must be increased..."

After giving the instructions, Doctor Ma left in the He family's carriage. Seeing that it was getting late, the villagers also left one after another.

Song Ying and the girls returned to the mountain, collected firewood and herbs, drove the ducks home, and cooked the meal. Yang immediately asked Song Ying to deliver it to Li.

According to the custom in the village, the host family will provide meals for those who help, but today the Wang family is in a state of panic, and Aunt Liu is worried about her grandson, so she may not be in the mood to cook. However, Yang dare not let Li go hungry.

After delivering the meal to Li, Song Yingzhe went home to eat. After everything was packed up, he went to Wang's house again with Yang and others.

Other families might not go, but they have to go to pick up Li. It would be troublesome if Li fell down in the middle of the night.

When they arrived at Wang's house, Luo Yanxing, Xiaoxiang and other families who lived close to the Wang family were also there.

Everyone sat on long benches, listening to the screams in the house. The women talked about their childbirth experiences. Song Ying's dead mother did not escape either. She was pulled out again and talked about her difficult childbirth.

Of course, Song Ying was once again warned by the villagers to be filial to Yang, who breastfed her, and Li, who raised her.

When the moon was at its zenith, the sound of a baby crying was finally heard in the house.

"It's born! It's born! Liu Daju, your daughter-in-law is born!" Aunt Meihua excitedly pushed Aunt Liu San, who had not yet come to her senses.

Aunt Liu stood up suddenly, a little bit unbelieving, "She gave birth?"

"It's born! Go in and take a look!" Yang also smiled and pushed Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu woke up as if from a dream. She seemed to be ten years younger and ran into the house like a whirlwind: "My eldest grandson!"

The women present also stood up and walked into the house, ready to go in and take a look.

At this time, Aunt Liu San came out with a dark face.

Everyone was surprised, and Aunt Meihua asked with a smile: "Why did you come out so soon?"

Aunt Liu said nothing. She went to the kitchen with a gloomy face and started clattering pots and pans, apparently she was cooking.

Soon, Li came out and saw everyone's confusion. She sighed and said, "It's a girl."

Everyone suddenly realized that when Ma Chun'er was pregnant, Aunt Liu San was already pregnant with a grandson. It was said that she even asked the blind man Wang in the county to calculate, and he said there was a high possibility that this baby would be a grandson.

It was also because of this that when Ma Chuner had a difficult delivery, she gritted her teeth and sent her son to see a doctor.

When an ordinary woman gives birth, she would not hire a doctor. At most, she would hire a midwife. More often, she would ask experienced elders in the village for help.

Immediately, Xiao Xiang's mother couldn't help but sneer, "Let's see how she will show off in the future. Her daughter-in-law is pregnant, and she is treated very preciously every day. She eats meat every other day, but her chickens pecked my vegetables, and she scolded me a few times, and even came to argue with me, saying that I pissed off her daughter-in-law and made her pregnant."

From afternoon to evening, she was busy in and out of the house, but that did not prevent her from gloating at this moment.

Others also echoed in a low voice, talking about Aunt Liu's extreme behavior during Ma Chuner's pregnancy.

Song Ying looked thoughtful. Perhaps this was what the villagers were like. They would quarrel and laugh at each other over trivial matters, but would also put aside their past grudges and help each other when something happened.

Just like the Li family, after that quarrel, they and the Wang family actually just ignored each other when they met, but this time they came to help without hesitation.

"I provide you with food and drink every day, and you ask for 10 taels of silver as a dowry, and you gave birth to a penis..."

Li, who was still laughing a second ago, immediately raised her voice and said, "What are they doing? They are still young and they will have grandchildren sooner or later!"

Xiao Xiangniang also urged loudly: "Yes, Third Sister-in-law, take good care of your daughter-in-law and get her pregnant as soon as possible."

When she spoke the latter part, her tone unconsciously became teasing and sarcastic.

Aunt Liu in the kitchen became even angrier. She rushed out of the door and rushed into Ma Chuner's bedroom with a kitchen knife.

The middle-aged women, led by Aunt Meihua, quickly stopped her and said, "Liu Daju, what are you doing?"

Aunt Liu was so angry that her eyes turned red: "I'm going to kill this damn girl. Blind Wang clearly said it was my grandson, how come she turned into a little girl? This damn girl must have killed my grandson."

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's a girl. If you want a grandchild, you can just give birth to another one later..."
